Crimson Tide fans hailed recent commitment Cooper Bateman as the Alabama QB of the future, but Nick Saban and his staff may not be finished recruiting the quarterback position for the Class of 2013.

Just a week after receiving Bateman's commitment, Alabama extended a scholarship offer to Marietta, Georgia star Parker McLeod, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound prospect from Walton High School. McLeod is the teammate of another Alabama commit, running back Tyren Jones, and made a strong showing recently at the Atlanta Nike Football Training Camp alongside other nationally elite quarterback prospects.

Alabama's offer joins previous offers from Oklahoma State, Louisville and Maryland among others and while McLeod's status as a three-star prospect makes him less of a highly-touted prospect than Bateman, it's clear that the Tide are looking to bolster their quarterback depth by adding a second signal caller in the 2013 class.

Updated 4 p.m. - According to an interview with BamaOnline, McLeod plans to make his final decision sometime this summer and will likely choose between Alabama and Oklahoma State.

"My top two are Oklahoma State and Alabama," McLeod told BamaOnline. "I'm thinking I'll probably
decide between those two. (The number of quarterbacks in each class) is a
pretty big factor. I just have to think about that. I'd probably like
to do it by the end of June."
